3, 1913. The Kentucky primaries
at which Senator Paynter's succes-
sor will be elected take place
next month.
In congressional circles Senator
Paynter's elimination from the
United States senate is regarded as
the first tangible political results
of the effort made last session to
keep Lorimer in the senate.
Senator Paynter was a member of
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections last, session and, with
Senators Railey, Fletcher and John-
ston, was a strong supporter of
Lorimer.
The sentiment that sprung up
against 8enator Paynter among the
people of his state encouraged sev-
eral Kentucky congressmen to as-
pire for the place, among them Rep-
resentative Stanley, who is conduct-
ing the steel trust investigation,
and Representative Johnson, chair-
man of the District of Columbia
Committee In the House. The race fi-
nally narrowed down to Paynter
and James, and for weeks It appear-
ed to be a foregone conclusion that
Representative Janies would sweep
the state.
Ollle James Is a fighting pro-
gressive democrat, and stdnch par-
tisan of William Jennings Bryan.
He stands for just the reverse in
politics for which Senator Paynter
stands, and in the Ballinger investi-
gation proved himself one of the
most, valuable men on that, com-
mittee. He is a member of the
House Ways and Means Com-
mittee and in the fight
over the revision of the wool
schedule, he stood out for free wool
and 25 per cent ad Valorem duties
on the genera! run of woolen goods,
until the caucus determined other-
wise.
Houston, June 26.—Fire In an oil
fleet at Port Arthur, swept through
the shipping and docks and burned
at least two persons to death.
It was gotten under control at
12:3) p. m.
Two of the Texas Company’s ves-
sels are reported destroyed and a
third badly damaged.
Docks and warehouses of the Tex-
as Company were heavily fire swept.
The bodies of two unidentified
men were found.
Latest.
Houston. June 2(1. The fire start-
ed aboard the barge Gamble at 6:30
this morning. The captain of the
Gum hie was blown into the air sixty
or a hundred feet and instantly kill-
ed, although seamen standing a
few feet away wero uninjured.
Bargee and tugs alongside also
caught fire. When the warehouses
caught fire the flames leaped to an
enormous height. The loss Is estimat-
ed from $150,000 to $300,000.

Austin, Tex., June 26.—Special
Judge Sam R. Scott, in opinion in
the t^ourt of Cilminat Appeals yes-
ferday, reversed the recent decisions
of that court where It had been held
that the testimony of a dead man
could be adduced In the subsequent
trial. Judge Scott, for himself and
Presiding Judge Davidson, holds
that an accused must be confronted
with the witness and his testimony,
and that the testimony of a dead
person Is not admissible. Associate
Judge Prendergast vigorously dis-
sents from this view, though he con-
cure In a reversal of the case in
point on other grounds. The case Is
that of R. W. Kemper, from Lime-
stone, who had been convicted of
the killing of D, B. Persons. Asso-
ciate Judge Harper was disqualified,
lienee the the presence of Judge
Scott.
Judge Scott wrote fifty-nine type-
written pages In his opinion on the
question and he found that the con-
stitution, stats statutes, the authori-
ties and testaments all require that
an accused person be confroned by
his accusers.
The court has several times
changed Its position on this ques-
tion, la duo to changing personnel of
the bench. When Judge Ramsey
and Judge Brooks were on the CQUrt
they held In the Porch case
once an accused was confronted
with the witnesses, testimony wa*
admlseable In a subsequent trial. If
a witness had died or left the state.
That decision overruled the Cline
case where Judges Davidson and
Hurt held that the accused must be
confronted with the witnesses,
Judge Henderson dissenting.
In this case Judge Prendergast
dissents in an opinion In which he
says that It is unnecessary to decide
the question and that the opinion of
the majority Is obiter dicta.
Judge Prendergast calls atter/ton
to the Important feature of the sit-
uation and It Is that In another case
where the same question can be
raised Judge Harper will probably
be not disqualified and if he agrees
with the dissent then the court will
again reverse itself and overrule
today’s opinion by Judge Scott.

CUNNINGHAM CLAIM
FINALLY DISALLOWED
Assof iatfd Prcan Dlnjmtch.]
Washington, Jun« Uf». The fa
mo us Cunningham Alaskan coal
lands claim, through which It was
alleged the Morgan-Guggenheim eyn
dicato had planned lo extend their
west Alaskan Interests to control
one of the most valuable coal fields
In tho world, was finally disallowed
today by tlies department of tho In-
terior. Their claims brought about
the Ballinger-Ptnchet Investigation
and Ptnchot’s dismissal and the crop-
ping of several other officials. Secre-
tary Fisher in announcing his decis-
ion said lie does not. believe the
present laws, applicable to Alaskan
coal lands are wise or practicable,
and he !i<ukm» the next session of
congress will modify them.
Washington, June 26.—This is the
record to date of the Democratic
House of Representatives as written
by Speaker Champ Clark himself:
"In the last two months the demo-
crats of the house have exiierlenced
a brand new and most pleasant sen-
sation—-that of being praised for
what we are doing and trying to do.
Heretofore for sixteen years we re-
received little praise for any-
thing and what little we did
receive was for fighting ' bad
measures. Now trie praise Is be-
stowed for good measures. Instead
of being sneered at as a party for
mere negation, the bouse is every-
where lauded for Its program of
constructive legislation.
“It Is a splendid record. We have
passed a resolution submittng a
constitutional amendment for the
election of United States Senators
by the people; a bill compelling pub-
lication of campaign expenses be-
fore the election; the reciprocity
bill; the Arizona and New Mexico
statehood bill; the farmers' free
list bill, and the bill reducing tariff
rates on wi>ol and woolen goods by
about 66 per cqnt.
Practically every democratic pa-
per indorses what, we have done. So
do most of the independent papers.
So do many republican papers. A
feature of the situation rarely re
ferred to Is that the house democrats
have presented bills so just and fair
that several of the more liberal and
progressive republican members
have voted for our bills. This 1*
gratifying and is an evidence of the
effect we are making on reasonable
republicans throughout the country.
“In the meantime the republican
senate is doing little and that little
Is In the direction of nullifying all
swe do. They go at It by indirection.
Being really opposed to electing
senators bv popular vote. they
amended the Rucker resolution In
such manner, «o they hope, as to
lead to its defeat. They are con-
templating defeating Rucker’s bill
for publishing campaign expenses in
the same way. Senator Root I*
trying to perform the same opera-
tion on the reciprocity bill. It might
as well be understood first and last
that the house Is opposed to the
Root amendment, which is In the
interest of the wood pulp and print
paper trust,
"On the average the membership
of the house Is younger than that
of the senate. We can swelter
through the dog days as gracefully
as the senators can. We feel that,
we are doing right and that we are
sustained in our course not only by
democrats with practical unanimity
but also by independent and fair-
minded republicans and we propose
to fight it out on this line If It takes
all summer.”
